Currently, we do not know what to expect from this 2020 election. Both parties are continuing to build up there platforms and agendas on which they will run on. Along with a fan base to help them get to or stay in the White House. With 19 Democrats and 4 Republicans running for President, this will be an election that every US Citizen needs to participate in.

In Texas, nearly 600,000 new Hispanic citizens will have the ability to vote in the 2020 election from the current 5,200,000 who were able to vote in 2016. For North Carolina, a state that went blue for Former President Obama back in 2008. Democrats would like to repeat that in this upcoming election. Especially with an average of 228,000 new residents each year since 2010, 32% of them has achieved at least a Bachelor's degree allowing NC as a state to be more educated than before. Each citizen and state will have a key role on the direction that this country makes and how it will function as a whole.

This election is going to be playing an instrumental role in how the United States runs politically and economically. We will all play a role in how this election pans out either for the best or worst.

Facebook and Fake News

Facebook and Fake News

Fake News. A term that has been used by the President since taking office, but what exactly is it? Fake News is the use of journalism and advertising that consist of disinformation and falsified truths. Facebook on the other hand has tried to combat this use of misinformation to its public. Even though Facebook has made some way to get the spread of falsified information off of its platform they still have a lot of work to do.

In recent years, Facebook has been under fire about the spread of misinformation on their site. Examples include the 2016 Presidential Election, foreign entities, and UN stating that Facebook played a role in the Genocide of Muslims in Myanmar.

We face great distrust when big social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google, post or censor specific information that may either be false or misinterpreted. Studies have shown that most people in the digital age do not read past the headlines of stories and that by modifying the headline to a mislead article the aftermath could be disastrous.

The Supreme Court, What is its Role?

The Supreme Court. The third branch within our governmental system, But how well do we really know what our Supreme Court does. Within recent months and past year, there has been much conflict within our judicial system with Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh.

Within the early years of America. The United States of America had a court system that really did not mean much to the public. However, when John Marshall became Chief Justice to the Supreme Court and the case of Marbury v. Madison came to be in 1803. The court slowly became into public existence and started to play key roles within our government and how the judicial system operates. Currently the Supreme Court of the United States or SCOTUS is now one of the most powerful court systems in the world.

One of the most harmful decision that the Supreme Court has made was in the case between Dred Scott v Sandford in 1857. It stated that the US Constitution did not include citizenship to African-Americans. This decision lowered the power of the Court and lead to the Civil War in 1861.

The Supreme Court holds currently nine justices to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Such individuals receives packets of court rulings from all levels and each justice decides a ruling before being presented before the individual's who is requesting the case to the Supreme Court.

In all, the Supreme Court holds a very important role in how the government of the United States operates. We hold much faith within our Supreme Court to uphold the Constitution and what it stands for. To make accurate rulings against all cases and deme such case either Constitutional or unconstitutional within the court.

She responds to the backlash by stating that it should be my right to block individuals. However, the argument is whether or not this once personal account is being used for governmental/political gain.

It is currently still up to the court to decide whether or not the congresswomen is at fault for blocking such individuals from her personal Twitter account.

Lisa S. Hoppenjans, the Director of the First Amendment Clinic at the Washington University School of Law, states that the First Amendment would not prevent her from blocking such individuals for sending threats. However, it is in violation if she is blocking individuals because she does not agree with their views.
